tf5l\ V Mac mode to see if the cartridge is working fine. Getting It Going If you press RETURN, the Spectre will start up what we call "Mac Mode". You can also start Mac mode with a pull-down menu (see the File Menu if you want to do this), but let's do it the easy way, and press RETURN, okay? Figure 3 There will be a pause, and if you're starting up off floppy, a few things will get read off disk. Then, Spectre will ask you to "Please insert System/Finder Disk". What it's asking for now is the Macintosh System/Finder software. If you have a Spectre 128 System/Finder needs to be in ST format, on the Spectre-format disk. If you are using the GCR, any Mac disk with System/Finder will do. It is not asking for the Spectre Program disk. Now, if you don't have a disk with System/Finder on it yet, don't worry. We can test the cartridge without that disk. If you've got a System/Finder startup disk, put it in, and press RETURN. If not, put any old disk in there - even the Spectre Program disk will do - and press RETURN. EDITOR: Please back up your Spectre disk first. Please? PLEASE?!! 37
Getting It Going a There will be another pause. It's just long enough for you to think nothing is happening. If you'll look at the File menu entry (see Figure 3, page 37), though, you'll see that it's highlighted. Hang on. Next, the screen will dissolve into the Mac startup screen. This is a grey screen with a small "Happy Mac" in the middle, smiling at you. But only if you've put in a disk with System/Finder on it. Otherwise, it'll have a floppy disk with a question mark on it; that's normal too. Either Of these indicates your cartridge is working fine! The Mac software in the ROM chips has checked out, and is correct, and operating just fine. You won't get the fade-to-Mac if they aren't perfect. Incidentally, I have never seen a cartridge "go bad" once it has worked once. The chips nevcr "wear out". The cartridge is very high quality (and darned expensive to make), and will most likely outlast yOUT ST. You may want to make provisions for it in your will. EDITOR: Family Heirlooms, Dave? Now, if you don't get the Mac screen with some sort of icon in the middle of it, something is wrong. You may get a "There is something wrong with yOUT cartridge" message, in which case, something is wrong. The ST can't "see" and use the ROM chips properly in that case. Check under "Installing the ROM Chips" for common problems, and see if you can find anything. Fix it, and try again. CongratuWtion.sf You've gotten the machine to the point where it thinks it is a Mac, and is asking for a startup disk (e.g., a disk with System and Finder on it). Things are working fine. Now, this is as far as you can go unlcss you have System and Finder. If you have the GCR and a System and Finder on either Mac or Spectre format disk, you can start up off that disk. If you have a Spectre 128, then you can only start up if you have System and Finder on a Spectre format disk. 38
